1,400-lb Capacity. Upgrade your vehicle's rear suspension with these maintenance-free helper springs. Sturdy microcellular urethane springs cushion bumps and help support a heavy load to level your ride and minimize sway. No-drill installation.
Features:
Specs:
Towing or hauling a heavy load can cause rear sag as your factory suspension compresses under the weight of the load. This means that the rear axle is trying to support not only the extra load but also the weight of your vehicle. And because there is less weight on your front axle, your front tires make less contact with the road, which causes problems with traction, steering, and braking. SumoSprings upgrade your vehicle's factory suspension to level your vehicle, improve driving performance, and keep your ride comfortable.
SumoSprings provide progressive load control - the more you load them, the stiffer they become. With a lighter load, the springs will compress easily for soft engagement and a less bumpy ride. The closed-cell urethane material allows for smooth contact between the springs and your vehicle. And the springs act like a shock absorber to dampen road vibration.
The springs can also compress by as much as 80 percent to support a heavy rear load and to help your factory suspension bear up under the load. This evens out the weight, which levels your vehicle and ensures that your front tires are making better contact with the road. A level ride means that you have improved driving control, ensures safe headlight aim, and helps to minimize sway. The springs also support your factory suspension, which helps prevent sagging and reduces bottoming out.
The springs work independently from one another to support each side of your vehicle. This action helps to reduce body roll when you make a sharp turn. This also helps compensate for an off-center load.
These microcellular urethane springs are tough. They resist abrasion, oil, salt, and UV rays that can more quickly wear out other springs, and they perform well in temperatures ranging from -25 F to 200 F (-33 C to 93 C).
SumoSprings compress vertically with minimum expansion to the sides, so they won't be damaged by nearby mechanical parts and they fit safely into tighter spots. And unlike air springs, SumoSprings require no maintenance or adjustment.
The helper springs are custom designed to fit your vehicle, and they install easily - no drilling required.

Hi, everyone. Steven here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at our SumoSprings custom helper springs for the rear axle. Now folks, these are a custom fit application, so I want you to double check the fit guide here at etrailer.com on our homepage. Where it says my vehicle information, enter things like year, make, and model, bed length, those kind of things, cab style. Make sure you're getting the right parts the first time.
Keep in mind, sometimes these videos could be outdated and they could potentially fit newer vehicle years. Now getting into it, these helper springs are gonna be a great addition to your vehicle's rear suspension for improving driver control and comfort. So if you're the kind of guy or gal or whatnot, and you're hauling a trailer camper and you're getting some squat in the back end maybe, these are gonna help you get back to a nice ride height and give you an overall better quality ride. Now, they are rated at 1400 pounds, weight capacity at 50% compression. And one thing to point out from the get-go here is that any kind of spring enhancement to your suspension system is just that, a helper or an enhancement.
It's never going to add or increase the overall capacity of your vehicle's suspension. So if your truck, let's say, is rated for 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight capacity, it's never gonna be more than that. I mean, it's just not. So the manufacturer ratings are what they are. These products just help that, and they do a great job at helping that.
So these are gonna be progressive load control, meaning they're gonna compress according to the weight of the cargo you're carrying. So if it's a light load, maybe they compress a little bit, and a soft engagement and give you a less bumpy ride. But on that heavier load, maybe a full camper whatnot, they'll compress up to 80% and they're gonna absorb, you know, those kind of things, bigger bumps and whatnot, and give you that same feeling from lighter to heavier. So they do a great job, and they work independently, so side to side, let's say you had maybe an off center load such as, I don't know, a thing of a mulch and one side for whatever reason, just a little heavier, or maybe a in-bed camper, that kind of thing. And one side of that camper weighs a couple of hundred pounds more than the other side.
These are gonna work independently and give you a nice even ride. They're made of a durable microcellular urethane, and they work impressively up to negative 25 degrees Fahrenheit, all the way up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, these are built to resist damage from oils, road salts, UV rays, those kind of things. They're maintenance-free, there's no tubing to run, like in airbags, those kind of things. And it's a simple no-drill installation. Just follow the instructions included and you should have no trouble installing these. Well folks, that's gonna wrap it up for our quick look together today. I'm Steven. Thanks for watching.
